immigration Figures

The number of immigrants arriv
ing in the United States during the
month of October was Is, 500, an in
crease of 4,471 as compared with the
same month in 1886. For the ter
months ended with October the arriv-
ais were 454 .699, or 120,67 more
than for the same period last year.
The chief increase is in the influx
from England, Ireland, Germany,
Sweden and Norway and Italy. Eng
land and Wales sent US 51,Ol2 emil
grants in the ten months of 1886 and
%. sos in 1887; Ireland As, 1872 in
1886 and 68,326 in 1887; Germany
73,172 in 1886 and 80, $50 in 1887 ;
Sweden and Norway Al ,656 in 1886
and 81, 197 in 1887; Italy "a, 40 in
1886 and 40, 768 in 1887. The only
decreases are reported from Bohemia
and Hungary, which sent 1880 in

While it is probably true, as re-
ported, that recent arrivals show con-
siderable improvement, as a whole,
over their predecessors, there are the
best of reasons for fearing that the
rising tide of immigration is bringing
to our shores a large number of per-
sons who 90 to make up objectiona
bic and dangerous elements in the
communicable, ignorant, vicious
and degraded men and women, social
istic agitators and anarchistic fanat-
les, whose presence here bodies no
good to the republic. A large pro-
portion of foreigners, furthermore,
have no intention of permanently
casting their lot here or becoming
American citizens, intelligently ac-
cepting the duties and responsible
ties which admission to the rights and
of citizenship involves. Es-
pecially is this true of the lower grade
of Italians, BOhemians, Hungarians,
and Poles, who come here to work,
accepting a mere pittance as wages,
and crowd out American labor. Their
habits of life enable them to live on
the scantiest and cheapest fare they
save money, and having gained what
is to them a fair competence, they re-
turn to their native lands, to live in
ease the rest of their days. Surely
there should be a bar to such prac-
tees as these, which work gross in
Justice to American labor.
Should immigration continue at the
present rate until the close of the
wear, the arrivals in 1887 will reach
about 546, 900. This is 212, 900 in
excess of last year, and the largest
total since 1888. And only three
years in the history of the nation sur
pass it. In 1881 we had 500 All in
1882, rs, 092 and in 1888. COS, 1922.
These facts and figures and their sig

thoughtful attention of statesmen,
legislators and good citizens general

ing a flood of foreignism that can not

all of a desirable sort. Much of it is

the subject are insufficient, even
when properly enforced. New and
more stringent statutes are needed,
and officers charged with their execu-
ton must be spurred up to more Wig
liant action. The work of reconstruct
ing our immigration laws and reor-
ganizing the entire immigration sys-
tenn can not be longer deferred with
safety to our people.

the same In the last Verna0nter he
thus closes:
One object of our trip is to find
out, if possible, whether rich sections
of the country like this offer any spe-
cial inducements to Vermonters or
not. After forming our opinion of
the matter, we have made it a point
to ask leading men in town and
country what inducements could be
held out to average Vermont farmers
to ''pull up stakes" and settle here.
The invariable answer is "None."
Farms here. with what would be
termed good buildings in Vermont,
are held at about $50 per acre ; I'M
broken prairie, $40; lumber, $40
and $50 per thousand most goods
and groceries at from ten to twenty
five cents higher than in Vermont,
and interest one and a half or two
per cent a month, except on long
mortgages when it is less. Looking
all these facts plainly in the face, we
are constrained to say ''Stay East,
Young man. Stdu East"

SAYS: " Ayers Cathartic Pills are highly
appreciated. They are perfect in form

it must be long before any other can

them. Those who buy your pills get
full value for their money"
"Safe, pleasant, and certain in
